What is a rubric?

A rubric is a table that lists a set of criteria against levels of achievement and it can be used for grading/evaluating criteria-based assessments. In Moodle, each row represents a criteria, (e.g. Originality, Clarity, Organisation, Referencing, etc.), and each column a level of performance, (e.g. from 'Poor' to 'Outstanding').

Overview

If your tutor has decided to use a Rubric to mark a Moodle Assignment, then on this page you can find out what it looks like and how to access it.

Assuming your tutor has Allowed users to preview rubric attached to the assignment (otherwise rubric will only become visible after grading) then you may access the rubric at any time by clicking on the link to the Moodle Assignment. Then...

...in the Moodle Assignment, before the submission due date

The criteria/rubric display conspicuously above the link to submit. (Click on the image to enlarge it).

In the Moodle Assignment, with feedback

After the rubric has been used to grade the work and your marks and feedback have been released, you see the same rubric twice as shown on the screenshot below. The first one at the top won't have changed, but...

Note:

• Green shading in the second rubric indicates the level achieved for each criterion.

• If the assessor has commented on each criterion, those appear in the rightmost column. (Users may need to use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the rubric to see the furthermost columns to the right).

• If the assessor has also provided an overall summary comment, it appears under the rubric.

• If the assessor has annotated the student's work, a link appears under the rubric.

If feedback is dispersed between rubric, comments, and annotations, students may need support to relate these to each other.
